The acquisition of tolerance to an environmental stressor can result in organisms displaying slower growth after stress release. While well-grounded in the theory, empirical evidence of the trade-off between stress tolerance ...

Animals exhibit a diversity of movement tactics [1]. Tracking resources that change across space and time is predicted to be a fundamental driver of animal movement [2]. For example, some migratory ungulates (i.e., hooved ...

In this study, we analyzed long‐term trends in calcium (Ca) concentrations for 70 Norwegian lakes spanning a broad geographical range and for a wide range of ambient drivers. A striking decline in Ca concentrations was ...

Reproductive output in alpine plants depend on abiotic and biotic factors. Alpine topography creates microhabitats for plants, with abiotic factors, like temperature, snow cover and soil moisture playing an important role ...

Atlantic cod has lost the Major Histocompatibility complex class II pathway – central to pathogen presentation, humoral response and immunity. Here, we investigate the immunological response of Atlantic cod subsequent to ...

Calcium (Ca) is an essential element for almost all living organisms. Here, we examined global variation and controls of freshwater Ca concentrations, using 440 599 water samples from 43 184 inland water sites in 57 ...

In his recent self-published book "Reptiles en Chile", Diego Demangel Miranda presented 13 taxonomic changes for liolaemid and tropidurid lizards. While these could be considered validly published according to the International ...

Yersinia pestis, the etiologic agent of the disease plague, has been implicated in three historical pandemics. These include the third pandemic of the 19th and 20th centuries, during which plague was spread around the ...

In aquaculture today, vaccination of farmed fish is successfully providing protection against many of the most common pathogens. However, while vaccines are most commonly given as a single injection, this is not the ideal ...
